Keeping Them Honest: Why is one group pushing so hard to make SB-1062 a law?
Defenders say SB-1062, a controversial bill passed by Arizona’s lawmakers, is necessary to protect religious freedom. They insist it’s not meant to discriminate against gays or any other groups. But opponents fear it could be used to deny services to anyone who isn't already protected under federal law. Anderson takes a closer look at the Alliance Defending Freedom, a group that helped draft SB-1062.
Opponents of SB-1062 are making their voices heard in Arizona. Miguel Marquez has the latest from Phoenix, where he says protests are beginning to grow.

Great reporting Mr. Cooper. What we are seeing now is a concerted effort by Conservative Dominionist groups such as Alliance Defending Freedom to establish theocracy in America. CNN and other news organizations are not really paying enough attention to what Dominionism is, who Dominionissts are, their think tank and organizational facades, and how much of a threat to the American Republic that they really are. You and other CNN reporters should do much deeper digging and research about Dominionism and Christian Reconstructionism, which informs Dominionism about ideology an goals. They are theocrats pure and simple, who will stop at nothing to establish a fascist Christian State. I encourage you and CNN to throw more light on them.
